Lower density development <br />shall take place in areas having environmental sensitivity <br />and in areas outside planned service. <br />Incompatible land uses should be separated from one <br />another.. Where they do abut, appropriate physical or <br />natural buffers should be established. <br />GENERAL- LAND USE POLICIES <br />COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL <br />All areas of commercial/industrial development shall be <br />located in a compact manner to discourage strip development <br />patterns which negatively affect the aesthetic quality, <br />safety, land use patterns and traffic handling capacity of <br />the transportation system. <br />E <br />
